But the current team would have them covered enjoying a almond latte after a loss and making us all know about it through Instagram

Podcasts stake.. podcasts

Insta famous lol

Want a perfect example of a weak comp? Just look at the current season that's about to come to an end.

All of penriths comps have been weak.

Let's be honest lol

They run a clinic because they are allowed to with rule changes like 6 again that suit their fast up tempo style.

Not worthy of 3 in a row. Anyone but them for me.

Every club played with the same rules, why didn't our club run the same kind of clinic????

They are fitter and faster.

Our fitness is shit look at our forwards.

Hunched over after 10, that's with the backs doing all the hitups.

Maybe their coaching staff and players were just better at adapting to that one. Or did the NRL bring that one in at their request? LOL

 

[Cheese sandwich]

The forwards are unfit and just not very good. Probably not a comp winning combo there innit

I'm down for a good conspiracy haha

You should get one of these then. You can share this way. Hot off the production line from Feejies Hunan factory

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

Love it!

Very fashionable haha

 

[Generalzod]

As I see it Penrith are like the Brazil and Argentina of the NRL, there junior base is by far the best in the country. This is why they will continue to play in Grand Finals.

Mate, I told you not to talk about these. They’re not out until the day after the GF. I’m currently hiring a bunch of seven year old, child labourers so I can get em out in time. Great profit margin!

 

[Frenzy.]

But, but the beta testing model I have is soooo good. I just had to share

Tedesco..... sympathy vote.
Ronnie...... nup. Not even the best winger in the club. Katoa was streets ahead.
Brit..... well deserved.

 

[PJ]

Ronnie is a joke. Terrible this year. Bombed so many tries with crap carries and the amount of time and how far infield he is all the time shit me

 

[ALX25]

Injuries to key personnel.
Moylan decline.

 

[Frailty]

Problems this season:
- Persisted with Moylan when Trindall was the better player to start the season when Nicho was out. I'd argue Trindall's development stalled because of the delay of getting into the first grade team.

- Inconsistent forward group due to injuries/suspension. I think fitness was an issue because they all seemed to be coming back from injury or time away from the game.

- Brailey offering little - The good teams all have hookers that can directly impact the game, whereas Brailey was a passenger for most of it. He can run, he can kick, but it seems like he doesn't want to do it. He also doesn't deal with pressure well IMO, leading to poor decision making and passes.

- Fitzgibbon was too loyal - I really lost interest in the season following the Storm loss when the exact same team was named. Ronnie, Moylan, Kaufusi, Brailey, etc. should have all had stints in NSW cup, instead they were gifted more games than they should have been. If there is no genuine competition for positions than you can't expect high-level performances.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Katoa was our best winger this year, he should have been nominated ahead of Mulitalo.

Also we expect far too much from our wingers. We make them hit it up like prop forwards coming out of our 20m zone - it's surprising they have the energy to score any tries at all.

Some good points here.

Trindall started the season very well covering for Hynes. It would have been interesting to see how the season played out if Trindall was retained over Moylan.

Forward pack is a significant issue. There were injuries but there will always be injuries. Looking at the top packs in the league, they are bigger, faster and more athletic than ours.

Brailey is playing like an iron man rather than a game changer. He is pacing himself to play 80 and doesn't back himself to demonstrate skill to change the game. Is that coached? Probably. he just doesn't look like someone who desperately wants to succeed. Maybe that's personality and an unfair perception.

Fitz too loyal? This will be one of his biggest learnings from the season. Stability and loyalty are fine qualities but there is a fine line when that leads to complacency due to lack of competition. Dropping Moylan was the right call but too late. Like Frailty, I lost a lot of interest after some of the dire performances were not followed by decisive action.

It’s a blight really on the lack of impact the forwards have, but hats off to the backs. Tracey getting ragdolled while Toby stands around with hands on hips. Yes it’s a generalisation, but seriously annoying
